They are more interested in other aspects of the deli in the Student Union, by the pool entrance, than they are in the service. UBOG is the body that makes decisions on space allocations for the Student Union, but discontented UBOG members say that they were not contacted before the deli was erected “We first heard of it during an orientation meeting two weeks ago," said a member who asked not to be identified. Union Director Joe Pineda said that the Board had given its approval for the search for a “revenue-generating organization" to use the room now used by the deli. Minutes from a UBOG meeting last year showed that the Board moved for such an organization to use the room The deli, according to figures quoted by SAGA food director Roger Fry, will generate close to $15,000 in profit a year. But members of the Board question the legality of going one step further and actually implementing the Deli without board approval. Pineda deferred response to that until the next UBOG meeting on October 1. Board members also complained that the deli was not put up for bid. Vice-president for Business Affairs Oliver Bonnert said it is not mandatory to put such things up for bid The decision to award the deli to SAGA without bidding was his alone, and dealt strictly with economics. “For the small amount of money it would generate, it would not be worthwhile," to put it up for bid, Bonnert said. But the complaints charged that Pineda told them during the meeting that several people had bid on the deli but that SAGA outbid the others. In seperate interviews with The Miami Hurricane, Pineda and Fry said that the contract was not put up for bid Pineda, admitting that he had never seen SAGA's overall contract with the University, said that he thought it is exclusive and that he had no chqice but to give the contract to award the deli to SAGA “It was not as if 1 had a choice between SAGA or say Burger King or anything else in there," he said Bonnert, whose office is one of the principal negotiators and the "guardian of the contract,” said he could have negotiated the contract. The deli is a result of a request made two years ago for the Student Union to break even in order to prevent the use of tuition dollars to go to support the Union, Bonnert said. The Board proposed a barber shop but could not obtain proper zoning permit from the City of Coral Gables, Pineda said. Approved plans for an on-campus pizza operation had to be scrapped because the initial costs would run too high, F‘ry said. The idea to put up a deli was the brainchild of former Director of Auxiliary Services Laverne Farmer and Fry himself. Fry said Farmer has since then left the University, and Fry said he could not recall whose idea it actually was. The idea came up during the summer and UBOG members might not have been available for consultation, Bonnert suggested. But UBOG chairperson Amy Muise said she had been in town all summer except for “a very brief period of time.” She said no one contacted her. Other UBOG members reached by The Hurricane said they knew nothing of the deli until it became a fait accompli. No one asked them to vote on it. Pineda declined to comment on whether or not any attempts were made by his office to reach any of the UBOG members until the Oct. 1 meeting. Instead he asked The Hurricane to give him a list of its questions, then decided to answer them during the meeting. “Each member of the Board will have a list of the questions and my answers in writing prior to the meeting," he said. He has extended an invitation to The Hurricane to attend the meeting. In a preliminary interview, Pineda had indicated that he was not actively involved with the decision as to whether or not to use the room as a deli.

The other class is full, but the waiting list is open. At this time, the center is small, but Sick is interested in expanding it to include children under two years of age Sick explained: "We need the parents of future students to come and sign their children up now. "This list would contain all those parents interested in our service, and whenever the time comes to ask the administration for more space, this list would back us up." "This center ... is one of the best around in this area. We have more staff than is required by law. The proportion of teachers to students is one to four most of the time, and that is excellent." “Otar children have close attention all of the time." i i

UBOG: Deli
Decision Not Kosher

The food is good, the service clean and fast, but several members on the Univesity Board of Governors (UBOG) say that something is not Kosher about the Lakeside deli.
They are more interested in other aspects of the deli in the Student Union, by the pool entrance, than they are in the service.
